Hi,
I had some builders to square off my office and replaster. When the brickwork was exposed there was a wire exposed but were unsure what it was for…leading down from the loft down the wall and under the floorboards in my office. Now the work is finished my landing light (completely separate from office) won’t switch on. Well to be exact it happens that it will switch on using the downstairs switch but not from the upstairs switch which is to the opposite end of the landing to the office. Somehow the two way switch has been compromised by the work done. Is it a matter of maybe the wiring just coming loose as they have sought to conceal the wire behind the plasterboard? Only a small part of the wire remains exposed on the office, where the skirting and section of floor board is to go in. Firstly is it safe and should I keep the light off completely? Any advice would be welcome. PS this is an old terrace and the office is in the outrigger that has a very shallow pitch and not accessible. The main roof is however accessible. I can see wires in the main attic which presumably serve all the upstairs lights, including I assume the landing light.
